When it comes to food, there is no pass and no need for a pass. It's not something we can choose. We have to eat. Obviously, we want to feed ourselves in an ethical way, but if we had to do the unthinkable in order to get food, we would, and it would be pointless to give anyone the crooked finger for it..since, if there's -anything- that can obliterate our moral agency utterly and completely.....it would probably be starvation.
That may be the ideal for you, but it's a non-issue for me and most of the human race. First world privileges Benny.
In any case, I;m not sure what we're talking about, the suffering of livestock is very much taken into account in ethical production systems. No ones disregarding them. If, for no other reason, than that suffering causes money to be lost.
-rational self interest strikes again.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
